Architectural Description of Mexico�s National University
Todo cubierto de los más ricos relieves […] del mismo estilo era la fachada, obra del arquitecto Ildefonso de Iniesta y Bejarano, […] toda ella estaba tallada en piedra de cantería, su arquitectura pertenecía al orden compuesto, con pilastras pareadas adornadas con molduras; los pedestales, bases, arquitrabes, frios y cornisas eran labrados, y la asimetría que prescribe el citado orden arquitectónico formaban tres cuerpos; en le primero se colocaron las estatuas del Derecho Civil, la Medicina y la Filosofía talladas de medio relieve; en el segundo estaban la Teología y el Derecho Canónico; y el tercero sobresalía , bajo el escudo de armas reales , un óvalo con la imagen de Carlos III. ”6.

The metopes from the Parthenon (Elgin Marbles) now in the British Museum are among the best examples of alto-rilievo. Mezzo-rilievo (Italian for semi-relief; French, demi-relief) presents figures that are rounded to half their natural proportions, but without detached parts. Basso-rilievo (Italian for low-relief; French, bas-relief) is a form of surface-ornamentation in which the projection is very slight.
